    Ah okay. My bad for misjudging you. But yeah, how quickly it healed is evidence enough. My ear piercings took longer to heal than his “gunshot wound”. LOL

      My only thing is that, since the teleprompter shard isn’t ’believable’ to me, what the hell could have happened? Maybe I’m just seriously miscalculating something in my head, very plausible because I’m stupid. but I haven’t seen any other explanation than the teleprompter so again I’m like 🤷🏼‍♂️

        It could have been a small bullet fragment from a ricochet, or any sort of debris that was kicked up from the bullet impact. Bullets move hella fast.

        I’m no ballistics expert, but bullets move very quickly, so it makes sense to me that they’d shatter glass with enough enough force to break the skin.

          I don’t think so. With the distance between the person and the prompter, the shard would practically have to be carried by the bullet. And at that point, the glass is an accessory to the bullet that shot you.

          And I also think that, if a bullet could break glass like that, it would break into absolutely tiny pieces, not significant enough to do the damage we “saw” here.

          Again, big dumbass here. Just laying out the way I see it.

            Yeah I don’t have anything other then gut to go on, so I’m not going to argue. Either way seems at least possible
